Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Bring back the head of the branch family, Hyuga Hizashi, who went to Kumogakure as the head of the Hyuga clan!"

Kakashi was speechless for a moment.

Wouldn't this be bad...

Overwhelmed with water.

Although the words sounded "domineering" enough, they seemed inappropriate according to the agreement!

The temporary breach of contract would cause considerable damage to Konoha's prestige, not to mention that with the rumors of peace talks leaking out from Kumogakure, the influence would only be greater.

and......

"The Third-generation Master is really good at giving us difficult questions."

"Kakashi, I understand your concerns."

Seeing Kakashi's expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and lit his pipe. The smoke flickered and he exhaled a faint smoke ring.

"To go against the previous agreement and take back Hyuga Hizashi is bound to anger Kumogakure. Once both sides are unhappy, it will be difficult to make any progress on what Minato has asked of us."

Kakashi nodded reluctantly.

I can't ignore Hizashi-senpai's life or death, but doing so will only conflict with my primary mission...

I wouldn't have thought so much about it before, but after sorting out the interests behind it, it became difficult to make a choice.

The fellow villagers cannot just sit back and watch, but can they just give up on Minato-sensei's last wish?

impossible.

"That's why these two things can only be handed over to you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said meaningfully.

"Kakashi, for now, you are the only one who can solve this problem."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Kakashi felt extremely overwhelmed.

Have you ever performed two conflicting tasks at the same time?

The original intention of returning to Konoha to hand over the mission was to reduce worries.

After all, the situation on the road is unpredictable, and the important tokens of both the Sand Village and the Rock Village cannot be lost at any cost.

I thought I could pack up and set off easily, but I ended up getting myself into a lot of trouble!

"It's really difficult..."

However, there is a way to have the best of both worlds.

Kakashi leaned against the fence, tapping his fingertips from time to time. Suddenly, he felt something strange in his heart and looked up into the distance.

The cawing of crows could be heard scattered through the lush woods, along with bursts of fluttering sounds.

......

At night it will be time for gathering.

A figure was walking among the branches in the forest.

The Uchiha monthly gathering is today.

As for the content of the rally...

Anyway, this is the last chance.

Shisui panted softly, a hint of bitterness revealing at the corners of his mouth.

But Danzo...

From his tightly closed right eye, blood flowed hideously.

In my current state, I can't show up at the rally.

"Uchiha Shisui, you have nowhere to escape."

Several cold shouts came from behind.

The visitors were several ninjas wearing pure black and white robes and animal masks.

The 'root' under Danzo's command!

"Avoid his face, aim for the ankles!"

At a command, dense kunai carrying explosive tags flew over.

Really underestimated...

Shisui's mind was calm, and the three magatama in his bloodshot eyes were spinning rapidly, merging into a shuriken with an arc blade!

At the same time, several burning detonating talismans exploded!

"team leader!"

The leading white-robed figure retreated with his cloak fluttering, following the residual waves in the air.

Being the captain of a pursuit team requires more than just excellent qualities and rich experience.

As required for leading a team, he also has extremely good perception abilities.

but......

"How can it be."

The pupils behind the mask were full of disbelief.

Chakra!

The perception is filled with an extremely terrifying chakra!

A faint glow was reflected in the mist.

Until the smoke clears.

On the flat open ground, a huge half-body-shaped monster with green flames burning on it appeared, and a shallow crater spread out like ripples within a radius of ten feet.

Wherever you look, an extremely terrifying feeling of oppression strikes your soul.

And that swaying figure was standing there, looking into the distance.

The third power - Susanoo!

"This is... the embodiment of chakra condensed into substance!"

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the amount of chakra he sensed was enough to make him stunned.

This Uchiha clan brat actually...

"As expected of Uchiha Shisui, with your talent, you must be able to stand out among the other members of the Uchiha clan."

There was a cursory applause.

A figure slowly walked out of the shadows, still leaning on an old cane.

Danzo!

The huge half body wrapped in armor turned into fluorescent light and gradually disintegrated and disappeared.

Shisui gritted his teeth, without hesitation, bowed slightly, and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Naive Uchiha brat..."

I want these eyes!

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his dry mouth.

"Catch up with him!" Danzo waved his hand.

But the next moment, a chill suddenly rose behind him.

In the corner of my eye, a stream of azure blue light was approaching in an instant!

An extremely familiar move.

Rachel!

The flashing lightning stopped steadily on his shoulder.

"Hatake Kakashi." Danzo said with a faint smile, his eyes squinting at the pair of heterochromatic eyes. Facing the killing move so close to him, he showed no fear at all.

"You are really unexpected."

Kakashi's eyes were cold.

This guy actually attacked Shisui...

Unbelievable!

Regardless of the purpose and original intention, attacking fellow villagers is the bottom line that cannot be crossed.

"Danzo, you've put the cart before the horse."

"It's not your turn to give me instructions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bloodless finger gradually enlarged in his eyes.

The target is clearly the Sharingan!

Kakashi was shocked.

Trade injury for injury?

When facing the veteran figures of Konoha, even if he took action it was only to contain them, and he did not have the intention to kill them.

It was just a moment of hesitation, and the Raikiri in his hand slashed down.

Blood splattered everywhere in an instant.

"Lord Danzo!" Several Root ninjas shouted urgently, standing still and not daring to move forward.

The severed arm fell, blood gushing out from the cut.

Despite this, Danzo remained calm, only glancing at the ground, and said calmly:

"Can you still be as courageous as before?"

There was a distortion in his vision, and then the figure in front of him suddenly disappeared, along with the broken arm on the ground.

Illusion?

No, it's...

"Hatake Kakashi, you are such a good candidate. The door of Root will always be open to you."

A hoarse voice sounded behind him, followed by a wind blade quietly passing through his neck.
